Sabah Automotive Detailer: Toyota Vigo - Metallic Silver - Big Suprise Inside Engine Compartment

One of the friends parents sent over his car to be properly cleaned. So took me around 1.5 days to do all the stuff as I'm still not feeling well. Once I'm done with this car, I'm gonna take a short break....

Anyhow, vet through and I have a big surprise for you guys!
The car is still new. If not mistaken its 2005 model. Apologize for the very small amount of pictures.

So, on with the show..

Day 1:

Car arrived around 9am. Started work around 10am.

Here are some shots on arrival.

The usual road grime . Wheels not too dirty.

Scratch at the rear truck cover.

Scratches at the door handles

No significant scratches or etching on the roof...

Scratch on the C pillar

Engine was really dusty and dirty... Needs a good cleanup.

The Interior was also not to bad.

Here are some picts.

Dusty interior

Minor stains in the seats

Headrest with hair and a Bug ..... not from my house, definately. Set it free at a nearby forest.

Interior door panel was dusty and icky...

I started to clean the interior first as the body, wheels and engine was still too hot for cleaning.

When I was done with the claying, found these things all over the car. Quite frustrated as its everywhere...
(compiled at various time during the day)

Took me few hours to clean all these residue off. QD, GooGone , brush and Qtips were used to tackle them.

Even on my laziest days, I'll never be this sloppy...

Here are some picts after the washing

Not too bad..

Wash induced swirls....(maybe)

Quite hard to spot the defects in a daylight. Best seen during night time.

End of DAY 1.

DAY 2

Started at 8am.

Continue to go on with Paint Correction

(sorry only took a few shots and the reflections on halogen during daytime - not really ideal) so I only took picture on LED.
